Time to do a cull on my blue gene red rili colony. I have been meaning to do this for months but cant find takers in perth.

This first lot of 60 + shrimp are going to my brother. I think I'll have atleast another two lots like this.

So if any beginners want some good starter shrimp dont hesitant to pm me. I will be happy to give them away.

If you dont want freebies and want to pay I'll take $2 a shrimp (actually ill be happy with whatever)

Ill wait a week before i cull the rest. Unfortunately i cant post interstate until i get some foam boxes.

Wish I could help you...

There are a couple I will move over to my keeper tank. There are also a few I am keeping to work on a blue gene red rili. I feel I need to reduce the numbers as I am worried they will out compete my tigers.

I used to wait until I had a heap before I culled. Luckily I have also got a cull tank for the good but not perfect culls because recently I caught a couple of really nice ones out to just have a few Rilis in a spare tank. After losing the majority of my Cherries last year I didn't have the heart to start over again but it's great to see a few cherry babies back in the tank again. They certainly do out compete other varieties I still have a few elusive Cherries in my large CRS tank and I just can't catch the little beggars so there are more and more in there!

The improvements I have made with my red rili's is from the advise you gave me some time last year. I pmed you about how to cull and improve my Rili's. I have followed that advise and I believe I have been getting better results. Thanks.

Now with the best kept in their own separate tank I am culling a differently. Once they become juvies I check the pattern and colour of the legs. I'll keep the ones they are good and move the ones with potential into another tank. Put the rest into this tank lol but this one quickly becoming over populated.

      Good video by Chris Lukhaup!

      By beanbag · Posted

      One interesting thing he mentioned was "Bacteria pressure", which I guess just means number of bacteria around.  Yet I see all these other videos from shrimpkeepers bragging about how much bacteria their filtering system holds. Also interesting is no mention of using anti-biotics to treat bacterial infection.  I think that has fallen out of favor recently.

      Finally set up the 30L Shrimp Tank

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      It has been a few weeks now and I have done a couple of large water changes. I tested the water parameters this morning, GH6 and KH2, TDS 140 and PH 7.5. Obviously the PH is off but there isn't anything in the tank that should cause the PH to rise to this figure so I will just run the tank for another month with 10% weekly water changes (probably just with RO water) and see where we are at that point. The RO water tests at PH6, and the KH and GH in the tank could come down as they are at the upper limits for Caridina shrimps! There are only about 10 very small snails in there at this point, but they seem to be doing well enough.

      Pure Red Line (PRL) Shrimps Western Australia seller

      By sdlTBfanUK · Posted

      I believe these to be very rare in Australia so you may even consider making it a longer term plan and produce your own by starting with the best CRS you can get as that is where the pure lines started! Depends how patient and interested in the project you are, but would save money as well? If I recall correctly it takes from 8 generations of selective breeding? They sell them at micro aquatic shop but do not ship to Western Australia, but that means they are available in Australia. https://microaquaticshop.com.au/products/pure-red-line-grade-ss-shrimp Good luck and just maybe smeone on here may point you in the right direction or be able to supply you with some.
